I Paul, I trod on one of my vines a few weeks ago. I was going to cut it off, but then forgot. I noticed it the other day, and the vine has just kept growing. he place where I trod on it is still visible as a few splits in the otherwise thick vine, but it has hardened up and there are flowers and leaves growing on the rest of the vine anyway. So you can probably just leave it and it will work out. If it is the actualy stem to a pumpkin fruit, not just one of the vines, I'm not sure, but it might do the same thing.
